Cordoplasty: a new technique for managing bilateral vocal cord paralysis and its comparison with posterior cordotomy and external procedure in a large study group.

ABSTRACT: To compare the functional results between posterior cordotomy, cordoplasty and external procedure in managing bilateral vocal cord paralysis in one of the largest published study group. Retrospective and comparative study. 54 patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis who underwent posterior cordotomy (Group-I), cordoplasty (Group-II) and external procedure (Group-III) from 2001 to 2013 were compared for functional outcomes. Successful decannulation was achieved more in Group-I and II than in Group-III. Voice outcome was better in Group-II patients compared to other groups. Outcomes of cordoplasty was better than posterior cordotomy and external procedures, with acceptable airway and good quality of voice. Posterior cordotomy is preferred in patients without tracheostomy and in pediatric patients. In patients with tracheostomy or who accept temporary tracheostomy, a cordoplasty is preferred for favorable voice. External procedure is preferred for patients not fit for general anesthesia.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the decannulation rate (DR) and revision surgery rate after surgery for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP).Data sourcesFive databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus) were searched for the period 1908-2020.MethodsThe systematic literature review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were pooled using a random-mixed-effects model. Randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies (case-control, cohort, and case series) were included to assess DR and revision surgery rate after different surgical techniques for treatment of BVFP.ResultsThe search yielded 857 publications, of which 102 with 2802 patients were included. DR after different types of surgery was: arytenoid abduction (DR 0.93, 95%-confidence interval [CI], 0.86-0.97), endolaryngeal arytenoidectomy (DR 0.92, 95%-CI, 0.86-0.96), external arytenoidectomy (DR 0.94; 95%-CI, 0.71-0.99), external arytenoidectomy and lateralisation (DR 0.87; 95%-CI, 0.73-0.94), laterofixation (DR 0.95; 95%-CI, 0.91-0.97), posterior cordectomy (DR 0.97, 95%-CI, 0.94-0.99), posterior cordectomy and arytenoidectomy (DR 0.98, 95%-CI, 0.93-0.99), posterior cordectomy and subtotal arytenoidectomy (DR 0.98, 95%-CI, 0.88-1.00), posterior cordotomy (DR 0.96, 95%-CI, 0.84-0.99), reinnervation (0.69, 95%-CI, 0.12-0.97), subtotal arytenoidectomy (DR 1.00, 95%-CI, 0.00-1.00) and transverse cordotomy (DR 1.0, 95%-CI, 0.00-1.00). No significant difference between subgroups for DR could be found (Q = 15.67, df = 11, p = 0.1540). The between-study heterogeneity was low (τ2 = 2.2627; τ = 1.5042; I2 = 0.0%). Studies were at high risk of bias.ConclusionBLVP is a rare disease and the study quality is insufficient. The existing studies suggest a publication bias and the literature review revealed that there is a lack of prospective controlled studies. There is a lack of standardized measures that takes into account both speech quality and respiratory function and allows adequate comparison of surgical methods.
